Growing Resiliency, Inc. empowers children to realize that through any challenge and all obstacles, they can—and will—succeed.

Growing Stronger Together
The Growing Stronger Together – Little Sprouts tutoring program was launched in collaboration with the St. Norbert College Sturzl Center for Community Service & Learning. This program connects SNC students, serving as tutors, with children in an after school program. Training for the college students includes instruction in language that encourages a mindset of resiliency, strategies to support literacy growth, as well as ongoing coaching. This training equips the tutors to provide intentional and strategic support to their tutee. The beginning stages of this programming have already demonstrated an impact not only with the child being supported, but also the tutor providing the support. Together they grow stronger and more resilient.
When we first started working together, my mentee would just give up when he came to a hard word. Now, he keeps trying and gets upset when I try to help him.

This program has also impacted me. When I feel like giving up, I think about what I say to my mentee, and realize that if I’m telling them to keep trying, I need to do the same thing.
